Blaise Pascal
It is not certain that everything is uncertain.
Blaise Pascal
Fire. God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, not of the philosophers and the scholars. I will not forget thy word. Amen.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
It is not shameful for a man to succumb to pain and it is shameful to succumb to pleasure.
Blaise Pascal
Something incomprehensible is not for that reason less real.
Blaise Pascal
No man ever believes with a true and saving faith unless God inclines his heart and no man when God does incline his heart can refrain from believing.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
